What is the term for a form of systemic review that relies on technology to combine the results of multiple studies for statistical analysis?

  1. Implementation

  2. Meta-analysis

  3. Systematic review

  4. Translational Research

The correct answer is: Meta-analysis

Meta-analysis is the correct term for a form of systemic review that relies on technology to combine the results of multiple studies for statistical analysis. In a meta-analysis, researchers gather data from various studies on a specific topic, combine and analyze the data to draw conclusions that may not have been apparent in individual studies. This method allows for a more comprehensive understanding of a particular subject by synthesizing the results of multiple studies. The other options are incorrect: - Implementation refers to the process of putting a decision or plan into effect. - Systematic review is a structured and thorough summary of the existing literature on a specific topic. - Translational Research involves applying findings from basic science to enhance human health and well-being.
